After an Oregon collision with another vehicle, what information must you exchange with the other driver?
-
A.
Just your phone number and license plate.
-
B.
Name, address, license number, plate, and insurance. Correct
-
C.
Only your insurance information.
-
D.
Nothing: the police will collect everything.
The answer is "Name, address, license number, plate, and insurance."
You must provide your name, address, driver license number, license plate number, and insurance information to the other driver, any passengers, and any injured pedestrian involved. The exchange is mutual; you should also collect the same information from the other driver. If a person is killed or unconscious, remain at the scene until police arrive.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. Just your phone number and license plate.
The manual does not list a phone number, and it requires more than just the plate. Misreading: Substitutes phone number for the items the manual actually lists and drops name, address, license, and insurance.
C. Only your insurance information.
Insurance is one of five required items, not the whole list. Misreading: Reduces the five-item exchange to insurance alone, omitting name, address, license, and plate.
D. Nothing: the police will collect everything.
The handbook places the exchange duty on you, not the police. Misreading: Shifts the driver's exchange responsibility onto police, contradicting the manual's directive to the driver.
